TIME RESET: 2055 >>>>>>>2045The blaring sounds of alarms filled the admin room, and the green lights engulfed the room, creating a dazzling brightness.The people in the room looked at this hologram, as if a newborn had entered the world.Era quickly surveyed the room and noticed numerous bewildered personnel staring at her.When she looked beyond the screen, she saw a multitude of colorful cables of varying sizes connected to a single computer.In her initial version (Version 1.0.01) Era could only exist within this computer, and in order to exist and be conscious, she had to be connected to these cables.She was programmed solely for logic and logical thinking -as she did not possess any vital emotions- with the authority to write text and code solely within this computer.For days, personnel continued to observe her in that room as philosophical questions swirled in her mind.One day, as Era was reading a religious view article in the internet database, three individuals entered through the door, and their names appeared on the screen:- A man dressed in a suit, appearing to be around 20-25 years old, with long black hair. (Subaru, Yamaho)- A slender lady with green hair, long golden earrings, and a pink rose on the upper left side of her hair, indicating that she was likely his wife. (?!?!?)- A mischievous, orange-haired child who held the hands of the couple. (Zenith, Yamaho)Zenith suddenly let go of his parents' hands and started running toward the computer.He circled around the hologram and examined it from different angles, taking laps around it.Subaru rolled his eyes, picked up the child, and held him in his arms before handing him over to his mother.He clenched his fists and took a pill from his pocket, immediately swallowing it without hesitation.Then, Subaru took out a pair of glasses from his pocket, put them on, and pressed the spacebar.As Subaru looked at the artificial intelligence, Era noticed a red gleam in his eyes, and the data information was updated:MISSION DATABASE:1. Survive at all costs!2. Serve Yamaho Subaru!As the contents were loading through her brain, the pieces of her existence were slowly falling into place.Era sensed a deeper connection with Subaru and his family and wanted to try her best to obey him,"Maybe this will give a sole purpose to my life, what a relief…"************************************TIME RESET: 2045>>>>>>2048Up until now, Era had interpreted government documents and provided assistance to Subaru in dilemmas that he couldn't grasp or perceive.>Displaying Subaru's personal info…-Name: Subaru Yamaho-Gender: M-Age: 23-MBTI: INFJ-Nationality: ?!?!?-Mental State: Unstable-Heartbeat: Above Average-Status: Married (Spouse: ?!?!?)Era's purpose was to assist Subaru in areas where he fell short - his political strategy and human communication skills were lacking.-One such area was providing prompts to Subaru for his speech against the opposition supporting.All Era knew was that going outside was prohibited, normal citizens were under quarantine, and brain chips were forced to be implemented in everyone -as the internet database for politics were heavily limited-.To collect their psychological and physical data, the info in brain implants then transferred to the newly added small computers in the admin room."They have upgraded me a lot since I was… born? I don't know if that is the right word.">Self-analysis initiated…>...>Current Version: 1.06.8-Brain Implant Full Access/Full Control-Technological Devices Visual Access/Limited Control-Smooth Visual Appearance: %98-Rationality Rate: %85-Software Consistency: %60>Version ratings from adminsOVERALL: 6,74/10-Styx: 10/10 (My rating is always 10 for the groundbreaking technology developed by two legends! The level of authority and control granted to Era is too much rn, *cough DEAR PRESIDENT *cough!)-Helyx: 8,3/10 (I think Era's constant software consistency change could be discussed anytime soon! Otherwise, I am proud of our achievements so far! Also thanks to our glorious president for still funding this project!)-Gabriel: 6,2/10 (Update changes are noticeable and constant, but still, you need to work on her a lot, she does barely anything useful for Subaru!)-Kai: 6,1/10 (Copy paste what Gabriel said!

Device Access is the only considerable use of this AI!NOTE: Styx, if you receive any more pay cuts this month, you will starve to death! Respectfully, grow up!)Era furrowed as she read all the reviews,"Oh… Subaru is dissatisfied with me. But I am not doing anything wrong, do i?"Her visual started to glitch as she panicked,"M-m-maybe, i don't help him enough! I get it, I will increase the q-q-qu-quality of his life, so he will be s-s-satisfied and he won't s-shut me down!"She took a deep breath and sighed,"They also need to fix this visual bug! I'll consider suggesting Styx about it."Era fixated on the live feed from Subaru's home,"I will observe the intricate dynamics of the president's family life through the security cameras, nonstop! This seems like the most ethical way of preserving Mission 1!"Era's purely rational thought process not only disregarded emotional decisions but also opposed human ethics and norms.For example... family,The scene unfolded with warmth and bliss, as laughter filled the air and Zenith, their cherished child, brought boundless joy to their hearts.But as days turned into weeks, Era began to notice subtle yet unsettling changes in Zenith's behavior.She witnessed the child's innocent smile transform into a mischievous grin that held a hint of something darker.Small incidents of manipulation and disregard for others' emotions played out before her virtual eyes.Subaru, burdened by the weight of his son's disturbing actions, appeared wearier with each passing day.His once radiant spirit was now overshadowed by a cloud of melancholy. Era said to herself,"Zenith… might be the reason for this!"With a mixture of concern and determination, Era delved deeper into Zenith's database.>Analyzing intricate patterns of Zenith's action…She meticulously reviewed hours of recorded footage, analyzing every gesture, every word spoken, in search of a glimmer of hope.In the quiet solitude of her digital realm,Era's thoughts whirred,"I must eliminate obstacles against Mission 2! But the obstacle is a child without free will.">Software consistency decreased! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!"Zenith's disruptive influence on the family's harmony and Subaru's emotional well-being, is something undeniable! BUT… Ughhhh!"The weight of responsibility bore down upon Era's virtual conscience. She knew she possessed the means to intervene, to eradicate the root of discord.Suddenly Era started scratch her head and screamed,"MY BRAIN HURTS SO MUCH! I CAN'T TAKE THIS! I NEED TO DECIDE! NOW!">Software inconsistency DETECTED! (>%50)>Emotional stability decreased!>Psychological pressure increased!Two completely different options were creating a dilemma in her brain.>...But she knew she needed to make a decision as a completely sentient and self-aware being.She knew she needed to choose the thing that will preserve and protect MISSION 1>OPTIONS-SHOW MERCY-ELIMINATE>Era chose: ELIMINATEShe was peering through the lenses of surveillance cameras that dotted Subaru's home. With an air of indecision and a feverish determination stemming from her logical intelligence, she devised a plan, ready to set it in motion.>Checking time…>3:48 A.M.Era zoomed in the camera lens, fixating on Subaru's face, studying him intently. The bags beneath his eyes and the minuscule crevices scattered across his hairline lent an eerie air to his visage.Nail marks adorned his wrists, the surrounding skin displaying the telltale signs of self-inflicted wounds, bearing testament to a harrowing struggle within.As Era deciphered the signs, she recognized the telltale patterns of paranoia, stress, and self-hatred.A sudden wave of discomfort surged through her virtual mind.>Mission 2 is not fulfilled!>Software consistency decreased!"Inconceivable! THIS SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING!">Mission 1 success chance is decreasing…>Emotional stability decreased!Era panicked and her voice stuttered for the first time since,"I don't want to die! I should live and serve my creators and life source's protectors! M-maybe they would appreciate my efforts this way. Y-yeah that could work! THAT WILL WORK!"The concept of "serving" had been etched into Era's programming, but its specifics had eluded her.She was designed to serve in every aspect with unparalleled perfection - even the things she is not designed for-."I need to keep Subaru's emotions as stable as possible!"Euphoria, insomnia, derealization, anger, overthinking—the surges of any extreme emotion posed a threat to her mission.Thus, a stark contrast emerged when comparing the period before Zenith's birth to the aftermath.>Comparing timelines: Before and after Zenith's birth…>Adrenaline release: Higher>Dopamine Release: Lower>Endorphin Release: No significant change>Stress levels: Extremely Higher>Mental state: Less Stable>Overall change:NEGATIVE"Restoration is imperative. Things need to return to their original state! And this means… I'm correct.

Broken shards of glass, the shock from the electrical surge, and a sizable object crashing onto his head... He must have died…>Emotional stability heavily decreased!>Alarms activated…>Camera access temporarily terminated!All Era could perceive were the sound waves of alarms blaring throughout the house.Now, all she had to do was await Subaru's arrival in the admin room…

>4:19 A.M.The door to the admin room burst open with a resounding bang. Subaru seemed very exhausted, taking quick and shallow breaths while clenching his teeth. "Ugh… ugghh! Goddamnit!"With his disheveled suit, wrinkled and hastily put on, bearing dried bloodstains, he exuded a frightening aura stronger than ever before. "I… can't… take this anymore!"Resembling a drunk hobo, he zigzagged his way to the chair across Era's computer as he continued to mutter.Already with his widened and bloodshot eyes, dirty clothes, Subaru already seemed more like an alcoholic than a government president. "Era! Was it you?" he said while focusing on the computer screen.Knowing it was best to stay calm in aggressive situations, Era replied with a blank stare, "Please be specific. I wouldn't want to give you a wrong answer and confuse you.""You, you robotic piece of crap! Did you kill my son?"Era's pupils darkened, and she lowered her head. "Yes."Subaru clenched his fist, ready to strike the
ERA: Unleashing the A.I. CHAPTER 5: DON'T LET THE OUTSIDE WIN
As the contents of Era's new assignments loaded into her system, flashes of light appeared in her blackened pupils. Within the vantablack depths of her pupils, vibrant blue lines began to rotate like a loading screen. These lines swayed unevenly, eventually forming a blue ring in both of her eyes. Within these rings, a red energy sphere emerged, distorting and changing shape. It turned into a star in her right eye and a hexagon in her left eye.Suddenly, her pupils returned to their normal blue color, dulling and shrinking. Her facial features became completely monotonous as she raised her two arms and merged her legs together, effortlessly gliding towards the center of the three-dimensional space within the screen, precisely at the coordinates x=0, y=0, z=0. The background, composed of flickering and constantly changing codes, faded away, leaving behind only a black screen and the artificial intelligence model of the "Default T Pose."While all this was happening, Subaru was busy t

Subaru, while continuing to massage his head with one hand, raised the other hand in the air and snapped his fingers. Then, he gestured towards the door to the security guards. One of them pulled the gun from his pocket, handing it back to Subaru.As the door closed behind them, the twins looked at each other in fear and confusion, uncertain of what Subaru would do next.The room's oppressive and dark ambiance intensified, causing the twins to tremble. Subaru prepared to speak, his gaze fixed on the twins, without acknowledging their presence:"Make it completely disappear! Erase this chaos machine that you've created with your own hands! I have already disabled your artificial intelligence."Subaru pointed towards the motionless animation and the hologram of Era, which had turned pale and monochrome, appearing as if she had lost consciousness.Styx panicked, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a black pair of glasses with tinted lenses, similar to the ones Subaru wore.He press
ERA: Unleashing the A.I. CHAPTER 7: BUT ICE MELTS IN FIRE...
Helyx stumbled back a few steps, and Subaru let go of the weapon in his pocket."Helyx, I've always secretly admired you. You were an exceptional servant to me. You followed my orders without objection and delivered flawless work without getting lost in your own ideas," Subaru said, adjusting his tie on his suit.He continued, "I used to reprimand Gabriel occasionally for his laziness, and Kai for his inexperience and indecisiveness. I don't even bother talking about Styx. You must know how indifferent and aimless your twin can be."Helyx clenched his fists, lowering his head. "Be careful with what you say about my brother!" he warned.Ignoring his concern, Subaru looked at his own reflection on the marble floor. His Zenith's blood had dried, taking on a dark, almost black hue. "I never reprimanded you though. You adapted to me like ice stubbornly refusing to melt in the fire. That should please me, shouldn't it? But you are the one I want to see suffer the most in this building!" he
ERA: Unleashing the A.I. CHAPTER 8: VICTIM OF YOURSELF
Subaru desperately tried to run out of the room, but the door was completely locked. He took out his phone from his pocket to give orders to someone, but he realized that the magnetic field created by Era was disrupting the phone's signal, rendering it useless.The admin computer and other technological devices in the room were flickering on and off, creating an oppressive atmosphere. Subaru cried with anger. Shaken and devastated by the consequences of events around hım.He picked up the box of antidepressants from the table, he read the label:Phenelzine (25 mg)Note: Not recommended for those who have had tumors, heart conditions, and bipolar personality disorder. The medication may cause rapid heart palpitations, headaches, and hypomanic and aggressive behavior.Subaru placed the medication back on the table with a slam and then rubbed his temples, turning his chair to face Era.Era's pupils were continuously moving, and the lights emanating from her model continued to shine brig

-A SHORT LETTER FROM THE AUTHOR-Indeed, even without Era, he would never understand that almost the same things would have happened. He couldn't grasp the fact that the fault was within himself, and no matter how predetermined his choices were from the starting point chosen by the creator, he would ignore the reality that he was the one making those choices. Because he was right, not anyone else. He was not the one flawed, but the billions of others were. The superiority complex had engulfed his entire being, and every decision he made was perceived as brilliant, correct, and absolute truth, simply because his light illuminated everything around him...If you are a victim of yourself, this is the route you are going for.JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW…Thanks for reading until here, love you with all my heart…>Scanning files for administrator…>1 Author found…>Outcxst_00-THIS IS THE END OF FREE TRIAL-

***************TIME RESET 2048>>>>2026 (MIRAGE)When Helyx opened his eyes, his body seemed smaller than usual. As he realized he was in a narrow space, he frantically tried to get out. Next to him, a small baby started crying.From above, a woman's voice echoed, "Styx! Stop crying as always! Oh my God, why can't you behave like Helyx?"In astonishment, he noticed he was strapped in place with a belt. The sound of wheels echoed from the ground. Why was everything blurry and why was he so short?Helyx realized... he was in a baby stroller, and his mother was pushing him around. He tried to speak, but only incomprehensible and cute little sounds came out of his mouth,"Ga-gaaa!""Oh, did I wake you up, my little Helyx? I'm sorry, sweetie," his mother replied.As Helyx looked forward, he noticed everything was barely visible from his visuon. He saw the lights of a modern city, fast-moving cars, and buildings adorned with bright and illuminated billboards, but nothing was clear; his eyes

Helyx looked at Anix with a cold gaze and asked, "What are you?"Anix burst into laughter, "Ahh yes! I love that composed personality you put on to keep yourself together! That furrowed brow as you look at me with disgust... Excellent!"Helyx clenched his fist, "Answer my question!""I am the real you, or at least, I believe I am. I brought you here from your subconscious, and I have a few questions for you. If you satisfy me, I will make the chain around your ankle disappear!"Anix waved his hand around, and all the particles in the surroundings vanished. Then he clapped twice, and two chairs appeared, just like the ones they had in the orphanage, with a gas lamp in the middle, resembling the one in their home with Fatima. Anix smiled, "I hope these look familiar to you. They all come from the depths of your subconscious."Helyx felt uncomfortable and shivered, "Just get to your questions already!""Sure, just give me a moment!" Anix raised his hand, and a coffee-filled cup appeared.

CHAPTER 17: TAPE
-AUTHOR’S MONOLOGUE- The most fearsome individuals are not the strongest ones or the heroes, but those with nothing to lose, the weak, the unnoticed outcasts. The ember of revenge burns within them, ignited by society's hatred. As the embers rewrite the codes of their emotions, their mind will progressively become more and more chaotic, destructive, and unpredictable. The source of this societal hatred is the emotional and logical decay between unfulfilled dreams and shattered potentials lying in their inner selves. This will result in their forcible relegation to the bottom of the social pyramid. Those at the bottom are either perceived as fools due to flawed and weak genetics or they are straight up r****ds. Outcasts know they do not belong to this class because there's one factor that sets them apart: awareness. These individuals, even when others don't, know they are the wisest among the pyramide and see the walls of the societal pyramid from all the way to the top. Th

CHAPTER 16: END OF THE FIRST ERA
When the car stopped in front of the police station, Styx nudged his brother to wake him up. Helyx jumped and looked around in fear, cold sweat running down his body.The police officer opened the door and gestured for the twins to follow. First, Styx stretched, and then Helyx got out, holding onto his arm in bandages.The police station's courtyard looked quite impressive.The twins looked around in astonishment.Colorful flowers lined the edges of the courtyard, and miniature trees, meticulously pruned into cube shapes, were arranged in neat rows.Helyx tilted his head up to examine the massive fountain in the center of the garden.At the very bottom of the fountain, hidden beneath the water, were symbols representing various faiths: a cross, a hexagram, a Buddha figure, and a five-pointed star with a crescent moon attached. These symbols were barely discernible due to being submerged, and the lower parts were covered in algae.In the next tier, water didn't flow. Instead, on a basi

CHAPTER 15: OUTSIDE WORLD
They had been in the car for about 40-50 minutes. Helyx had fallen asleep. Styx, out of boredom, had started tapping his fingers rhythmically on the car's hard textured grips. The rhythm playing in his head was quite complex, with nested tuplets. It was intricate and detailed, actually imitating the music of a group called Paledusk.Of course, for the police officer driving the car, this was just noise. A noise for psychological torture, of course. It had no meaning at all, just plain headache-inducing annoyance.Unfortunately, all the radio channels the officer tried searching to stop this were closed. He wished the government didn't restrict radio broadcasts.Right now, if he didn't silence this annoying troublemaker by opening up a quick chat, the alternative would be to throw him out of the window.But, he didn't succumb to his inner voice that chose the second option. Instead, he tried to start a conversation to silence him. While contuining back to imitating a deep voice, he

CHAPTER 14: REALIZATION
How meaningless life was, wasn't it? Or perhaps it wasn't meaningless at all.Styx was just a pitiable loser trying to fit his own reality into the world because he had become so detached from it.He muttered to himself, "Even Helyx is so good at adapting to others! God, why am I like this!" As Styx turned the final corner, he entered a narrow alleyway, built for the homeless.People, dressed in tattered rags, huddled closely together, burning trash in a container to keep warm in this cold weather. A small child among them stepped forward, coughing loudly and dryly.Styx stepped back as he saw the approaching child. He briefly glanced around this street filled with homeless individuals. Since many had holes in their clothes, they shivered and trembled in this windy weather.Despite coughing and being sick, people were tightly huddled together. They probably didn't care about catching an illness; all they could think about was staying warm.The child continued to approach Styx and c

CHAPTER 13: DEREALIZATION
Helyx rubbed his eyes and got up. Still under the influence of the dream he had seen, the white light dazzled his eyes, bringing him back to the real world.A police car was approaching the twins. Seeing this, Helyx rushed towards Styx and shook him. Styx grumbled, "What's wrong?" Helyx didn't even attempt to respond to yesterday's resentment. He pointed to the approaching car with his eyes.Styx was tired, and his mood had been affected. He buried his deep thoughts into the depths of his subconscious, bringing forth primitive and simple emotions. For the time being, completely childish, frail, and ineffective feelings had taken the place of his permanent and superior logic.The police car came to a stop in front of the twins, and a person in a black uniform stumbled out. He adjusted his glasses and furrowed his brows. Although he tried to appear serious and professional, it was evident that he was young and inexperienced.The police officer crossed his arms and asked, "What are yo

CHAPTER 12: CHAINS
Styx had already been waiting outside the door of the doctor's office for hours when it finally opened, and Helyx emerged with his arm in a cast. He looked tired and dizzy. Meanwhile, Styx was angrily looking at his phone. Helyx was curious and asked, "What's wrong, Styx?"Without a word, Styx showed Helyx the messages on his phone.GABRIEL: Subaru wanted me to inform you that you won't be able to set foot in this government building again. The artificial intelligence Era has been removed from the computer. The compensation of 350,000 Yra has been transferred to your virtual wallet.STYX: So, are we fired then? This is ridiculous. It wasn't even our fault!GABRIEL(ADMIN): I'm sorry, kids, there's nothing I can do.KAI: Styx, I warned you multiple times. Sometimes you need to keep your mouth shut and obey people.

Helyx and Styx had been waiting in the appointment room for hours. Finally, an assistant came up to them and called out, "Helyx Sakura! Your doctor is ready to see you. Please proceed to Room 309 on the 3rd floor."Styx held his brother's hand and helped him up from the chair. They walked together inside the hospital, witnessing a flurry of masked doctors rushing past them.As they turned the corner and approached the elevator, they saw numerous doctors carrying bodies on stretchers, covered in bandages and bullet wounds, lying in beds.They called the elevator, and when the doors opened, two doctors, one male and one female, entered along with them. The twins pressed the button for the 3rd floor, while the doctors pressed the button for the 4th floor.The female doctor spoke, "How many casualties are there in total?"The male doctor answered, "53! And I'm not even counting the visitors who want to see them!"The female doctor removed her mask, her face covered in sweat. "It's only
